When to use Group Maker
Counting off by fours puts the same colleagues together and can leave one group with every manager. Group Maker splits a list of names into balanced groups in a second and respects the rules you care about: keep two people apart, keep a pair together, spread each department across the groups.
For multi-round sessions, Next round builds new groups that avoid repeating pairs. The roster stays in your browser.
How to use it
- Paste the list of names, one per line. Add a tag after a comma, such as "Priya, Sales", to balance by it.
- Choose how many groups you want, or how big they should be.
- Add any keep-apart or keep-together rules, then shuffle.
- Copy, print table tents or export to CSV, and use Next round for the next activity.
Questions about Group Maker
- Can I keep certain people apart or together?
- Yes. Add a pairing rule for any two people, keep together or keep apart, and every shuffle respects it.
- Can it balance groups by department or role?
- Yes. Add a tag after each name, for example "Priya, Sales", and turn on Balance by tag. Each tag is spread evenly across the groups.
- Can I make several rounds without repeating pairs?
- Yes. Next round builds new groups that avoid putting the same two people together again, and shows you how many repeated pairs were unavoidable.
- Are the names uploaded anywhere?
- No. The roster stays in your browser. You can copy, print table tents or export the groups as CSV.
- Is Group Maker free?
- Yes. Group Maker runs entirely in your browser with no account, no limits and nothing to install.
- What happens to the content I put in?
- It never leaves your browser. All of the work happens on your machine, no request is made to our server with your content, and nothing is stored on our side.
